Summary:
The 73853 zip code area has only one high school, Sharon-Mutual High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Sharon-Mutual District. This small, rural high school has faced declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 240 out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 360 out of 431 high schools in the current 2023-2024 school year, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Sharon-Mutual High School struggles, with only 25% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in CCRA/English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in CCRA/Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2021-2022 was 80.1%, which is below the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
On a positive note, Sharon-Mutual High School has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, which could allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this low ratio has not translated to strong academic outcomes, and the school's overall performance remains a concern for the community. Further analysis and comparison to state or national averages would be necessary to better understand the school's strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for improvement.
